Wedding Photographers & Videographers at Liberty Hall at the U.S. Hotel Tavern, Hollidaysburg

Wedding photos at Liberty Hall at the U.S. Hotel Tavern in Hollidaysburg have a warm, woody look before anyone adds a single flower. The hall was built with old wooden beams saved from a barn, so heavy timber frames the room above your tables, and an upstairs balcony looks down over the whole setup. That balcony is a gift for your photographer and videographer: one picture from up there takes in the room, your guests and the dance floor at once.

Liberty Hall is a wedding reception venue first. It seats up to 200 guests, and the tavern's own team handles the catering with customizable menus, including a menu written just for wedding receptions. Its event planning and service staff work with you from the first meeting through the wedding day itself. The hall also hosts rehearsal dinners, so the night before and the big day can share one address. The venue doesn't publish anything about ceremonies on site, so ask if you'd like to get married here too.

Picture the evening: guests arrive from your ceremony, find their seats under the beams, and the toasts and first dance happen in a room with plenty of character for a wedding video. Next door in the tavern, the old cut block barroom is still pouring drinks, a fun stop for a few extra pictures if the tavern allows it.

• Call or use the contact form to check your date and ask for the current wedding reception menu.
• Visit with your photographer to see the light under the beams and the view from the balcony.
• Ask about photo and video guidelines, parking and where your ceremony could take place.

A little about Liberty Hall at the U.S. Hotel Tavern

The U.S. Hotel has been part of Hollidaysburg since 1835, when it was built for travelers heading west. After a fire in 1871 it was rebuilt in 1886, and its 1905 barroom still serves guests today. Liberty Hall came much later, built with mid-19th century beams rescued from a barn in Smithton, Pennsylvania.
